Cam'ron & Vado - Soulja
Artist: Cam'ron & Vado
Producer: Butter Beat
Album: Boss Of All Bosses 3
Label: E1 Music
We’ve all come to expect a certain, shall we say not exactly Shakespearean rhyme style from Cam’ron and Vado, but I think the Harlem-for-life representers will surprise a lot of people with the release of their new song Soulja, a thoughtful meditation on the tragic practice of child soldiers. I’m sorry, I’m just kidding, but I had you going there for a second, didn’t I? Instead, Soulja finds the duo as street based as ever, grabbing producer Butter Beat for a looped vocal sample beat that will undoubtedly have some reminiscing on the Diplomat glory days (Oh Boy anyone?). Cam uses that bouncing energy to deliver some relentlessly banging rhymes that wave in some off-kilter slang and references (shout out to Lorena Bobbit). It’s a pattern that his protégé Vado picks up on nicely, as does Jazz, a female newcomer who’s clearly nothing to mess with. Songs like these tend to inspire either some real love or hate – let us know which side you’re on in the comments below. And if you’re in the former camp you’re undoubtedly keeping your eyes and ears peeled for the release of Cam’s currently unscheduled Boss of All Bosses 3 mixtape.

The old soulja boy sample used in this is much better than the soulja boy nowadays.
I've never been a big fan of Cam'ron & Vado, but this track is alright. Who is that girl at the end? |

We've all heard MUCH better from Cam'ron, but Vado is starting to slowly come around on me as an emcee. I am not sold 100%, but he is in a much better plan than he was, lets say, a year or so ago. Still, though, this is only as good as the rest of its fellow mixtape tracks.

Song is enjoyable and I have to give them an extra star for the Houston Rockets shoutout. I wish I could have heard more of the lady emcee... she really flowed nice and gave the track that extra push it needed to go from ok to rotate.
